NAME

       cwaves - languid sinusoidal colors

SYNOPSIS

       cwaves  [-display  host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono]
       [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-waves int] [-colors int] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The cwaves program draws a languidly-scrolling vertical field of sinusoidal colors.

OPTIONS

       cwaves accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a  visual  class,  or  the  id  number
               (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       -delay microseconds
               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.  Default 20000, or about
               1/50th second.

       -waves int
               How many cosines to add together.  The more waves, the more complex the apparent motion.

       -colors int
               How many colors to use.  Default 800.  The more colors, the smoother the blending will be.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the  name  of  a  resource  file  that  overrides  the  global  resources  stored  in  the
               RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
